LADY COLIN CAMPBELL.

SHE OFFERS A LETTER ON WOMEN'S WORK IN ENGLAND.

The Inspiring Hand of Lady Sandhurst* Sirs. UeMhnt and the Lucifer Match Makers—Tho Trades Villous—Society of

Lady Artist*—The Thimble league. (Copyright by American Press Association.] LONDON, June 5.—On rending the daily press of England one would almost be inclined to suppose that the women of Great Britain had little to do with public life. With a fashionable wedding or a grand ball, according to the newspaper report, the sphere of woman would seem to end. But if we seek out facts and honestly chronicle them we must adopt quite imother conclusion. Indeed, such a harvest of societies, leagues and associations do we gather in that a selection from among them becomes difficult. Almost each month brings anew crop of some sort of associated effort on the part of women, and the field is becoming crowded indeed, for the old societies continue with a vigor ever perennial. Among the most important societies formed this last year is one in which Lady Sandhurst has been the inspiring and guiding hand.

For along time the working women of London have felt their lack of organization whenever a dispute arose between them and their masters. A little over a year ago, when the girls employed by Bryant & May, the leading match manufacturers in the metropolis, struck for higher wages, little regard would they have received had it not been for the instant and efficient help of Mrs. desant. This lauv is a born organizer and leader, and she soon had brought the chaotic ranks of these match girls into line, so they could cope advantageously with their employers. This •trike, with its disorderly beginning and successful close, wus a splendid object lesson for the working women of London.

Realizing tii»ir power when united they are now ready to work in with Ladv Sandhurst's idea of f-. ,-ming a great trades union of all the women wage earners in the metropolis. Of course the object of tnis work could be more efficiently accomplished if the trades unions among were to open their doors to women, and demand that all should have equal pay for equal work and all a fair day's wage. But unfortunately John Bull's brain moves slowly. The men do not yet see that they must carry women with them into the projnised land or be barred out themselves by having women usurp their places in the onward march, and underbid them in every labor market. So, since the British unions have not adopted the broad and wise demands which I understand the Farmers' Alliance and the Knights of Labor in America have embodied in their programme— viz., enfranchisement for women and equal pay for equal work—we must welcome as a timely departure the society inaugurated this winter by Lady Sandhurst.

It $s pleasant to turn from more commonplace subjects sometimes to the world of art. But all is not "sweetness and light" even here. Just as I think the union men and women in trade societies or in government is necessary if the most thorough reform is to be accomplished, so I deprecate any separation of men and women artists. I am opposed to either sex drawing aside and forming an exclusive association. The "Society of Lady Artists" is, I feel sure, a tactical error from all points of view. Women are already far too apt to make studies of flowers and fruits and portraits of characterless babies. It is to their own interest, then, not to cut themselves oil from the criticism of their brother artists, not to forego the valuable lesson of comparing their work with that of men who have won their artistic laurels in the eyes of the world. It is really the women outside the "Society of Lady Artists" who are making tli"ir names famous. Countess Feodore Uleichen. the sisters Mrs. Rae, Lady Butler—these are artists to whom the world accords high praise. Counte.-:". Feodore Gleichen shows a thorough appreciation of form in the busts and statues she exhibits in the academy, and Mrs. Rae his shown both courage and ability in dealing with tho nude figure. Lady Butler's battle pictures and the varied work of the Misses Moi,talba also lioid their own—aye, and more than hold their own—in the open competition on the walls of the Royal academy

If a picture cannot do this, whether it be by man or woman, the artist has clearly mistaken his or her vocation, and no amount of exhibitions of hole anil corner societies, where membership replaces talent as a reasou for the hanging of certain pictures, will convey the smallest hou' or Vudos to the painter who cannot face tho open competition of the world of art. Before the great question of art all distinctions of sex should vanish. The true artist is an artist before everything. The mere fact of being a man or woman is a question of detail with which the world at large has nothing at all to do. "By their works ye shall know them" is true in all branches of art, painting, music, sculpture, literature. If tho work is good, so much the more praise if a woman, one of a r!a.s of beings whose mental development may 13e said as yet to le only in leading strings, should have accomplished it. If the work is bail, no plea of sex should save it from condemnation. Tlii-ret'ore 1 look upon such societies as tliat of the "Lady Artists" as a deliberate step backward in art education, and the sootier it is disbanded and its members merged into the innumerable societies of their brother workers in art the better it will be for those women painters who look upon their vocation seriously.

I have recently received the yearly report of an excellent society founded by women. Its coat of arms, appearing

pair of

Nassers,

tho bend sinister a

threaded iieedle. and nt the fess point a determined looking littlo thimble on the scroll is emblazoned the words

Thimble League." Tho object of this society is to bring in the matter of sew-

of giving their sewing into tho hands of some deserving woman, and refusing to buy the ready made garments at shops, or even to order underclothes made by large firms. The reason given is undoubtedly a legitimate one i. e., that most shops cut their workwomen down to starvation wages. But I hear on all hands, izi America and England, complaints of the inefficiepcv of that same "deserving woman." It is a perfect vexation of spirit to tTy to get even the simplest garment made outside the shops. It would almost seem as if the liirgo firms had monopolized all the competent workwomen. So to those who have conscientious scruples as to wearing things made by some poor, overworked, underpaid soul, and at the same time have not time nor patience to take the "deserving woman" in hand, tho Thimble league, with its assurance that any garment ordered will be properly made on the shortest notice, and that the worker will get a fair wage, is a veritable blessing.

While we are on this question of sewing let me point out one department of the Lady Guides association which fills a wide gap in domestic economy.

To many a busy wife the family mending is a perfect nightmare. With the many calls upon her she really has not time to dam the holes and rents of the entire household. From the Lady Guides she can get a competent woman to come and put all thoroughly to rights. This useful association not only makes us whole again, but it sends out ladies to pilot strangers through the mazes of London, to conduct them to all its wonders, to advise and direct them in shopping matters. As they have employes who can speak any language, they are ready and competent to enlighten foreigners from all parts if the world as to the ins and outs of metropolitan life.

The Fashions in Paris«

One of the prettiest of the new stylc3 seen in Paris is in a Worth costume of pearl gray faille, princess shape, with all the edges of the trained skirt and drapery cut in Vandyke points under which is "a black velvet bordering. The sleeves were made in the same way. The cor-

sage was cut low back and front with the same points over velvet, and the neck was filled in with lace. The sleeves had a fall pouf at the top, and the high collar was cut in points with a iWrrow edge of crepe lisse. With this is to be carried a fan of pearl gray crepe with silver flowers embroidered upon it.

A well known habit maker has jnst completed a very handsome full costume. There is a gown of soft India silk in apple green with large crescents of shaded brown upon it, and a wrap of Spanish lace lavishly trimmed with jet and gray pearl beads in Spanish style. The sleews

But do consider for mce. Women boarders uo not "iiar.g about the house" any more, as they used to. They eat their breakfast and go off to business like littlo men. Thov do not expectorate on the carpets or break the furniture. They do not smoke. They do not come home drunk at a o'clock in the morning and raise the house with ringing the front door bell localise they are too befuddled to find the key hole. They don't eat as much as men, though I am glad to s.iv they are doing better in this respect lately, and eating more than in the sentimeutal days when they lived on toast- and tea. I liavo been investigating this subject and the only objection I find to the girls is that they wash their stockings and handkercliiefs in their wash

guod looks! When men have kept their bodies at their best, and are not too fat. or tumble down old wrecks, there is not an object in nature more splendid than they. I have always appreciated them, confess. Now, I .hope that is sa tisfactory. But if I had to take my choice between living in a house with all the boarders men or all women, I should take the women. What pleasure I have had with my women comrades! clean, kindly, loyal, sympathetic, merry. While like men. as I have said, I must own that the truest friends of my life have been women, and it hurts me, this discrimination against women boarders.

For twenty-two years the Indies of the National Woman Suffrage association have been told at their annual conventions that they had not gained a peg in the way ot progress since tl»ey began. Now, however, they can retort on their persecutors that they have gained one peg, just one. Tho judiciary committee of the house of representatives have agreed to recommend an amendment to the national constitution entitling women to vote. This has never happened in either house of congress l)efore. The

I have been looking nrw'a ffcport of the work done the past year by a number of women's clubs. On the whole the work is encouraging, and deals largely with the burning questions of today, the things on which hangs the earthly salvation of men and women. But some of the rubbish these women have been poking into their bruins is disappointing. While not half the women know in what congressional district they live, while not one v.-oman in twenty has studied the United States constitution or that of the state in which she lives, while not one woman in a hundred can give an intelligent abstract of tho law.- governing the property rights of married women and widows in her own state. I submit whether it does not look a littlo fitr fetched to be investigating the works of the early Russian poets. Th::t is all.

Say that in the course of three years or so the senate actually did pass the amendment, too. Then it would still have to go before tho states, to be ratified by three-quarters of them. Tho whole process would take several years. Moreover, the question is still in dispute whether the decision as to woman suffrage belongs properly to congress or to the legislatures of the several states. Wyoming has decided this for herself, territorially, by admitting women to the right of full suffrage.
